Baby Shower Gifts for Mum and Baby

What are the Best Baby Shower Gifts for Mum to Be?

The Best Baby Shower Gifts are created with new mums in mind. As she prepares for birth and the post partum period she may be looking for practical baby shower gifts that will make life easier when her baby arrives. Other Expectant mums might prefer positive affirmations and relaxation aids to help promote feelings of calm and strength as she goes through a huge transition to motherhood. Or perhaps the right baby shower gifts for her are nourishing and supportive pregnancy self-care and pamper gifts to help lift her spirits and pamper her as the baby grows.

You can always ask the new parents what their best baby shower gifts are because every family is different. Whether they are expecting a baby boy or baby girl might also change what their perfect gift is.

What are Practical Baby Shower Gifts?

Some great practical baby gifts for baby showers are ones that help with common new baby issues. For example the best baby gifts for new mums include:

• a baby sleep diffuser to help baby to fall asleep and stay asleep longer.

• lactation cookies and breastfeeding tea to support her breast feeding journey.

• soft organic baby clothes to help them set up their new baby wardrobe.

• natural baby toys that they will use over and over again make a great gift.

• baby board books that can be enjoyed by the whole family for a long time to come.

• baby journals for them to record all of their precious memories and milestones.

• baby swaddle blankets are always popular because they always get used!

The best baby shower gift is one that they will cherish and use, so we always recommend choosing high quality items that are organic, natural and non-toxic.

If you are buying for a first time mum then they will likely appreciate practical gifts for their new baby. If the mum is experienced, then a thoughtful gift might be more about self care and pampering for mum to be because she probably already has a lot of the baby products at home.

What do you get a friend for a baby shower?

The perfect baby shower gift for a friend depends on how close you are with the new mum. If you are not very close, or perhaps work collegues, then stick to a thoughtful new baby gift with high quality baby products she'll love using. On the other hand, if you are quite close, then you can be a bit more personal and select baby shower gifts for mum to be that help support and nourish her through this transition.
